By The Seventh Wave

Submit your work by 7/25 to be considered.

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted to our 2024 Community Anthologies. We have extended the submission deadline to dezireé a. brown’s Community Anthology, “On Gaming,” to July 25. How to submit?

  • “On Gaming,” curated by dezireé a. brown, is looking for creative writing — poetry, flash fiction, flash CNF, short screenplays, hybrid, and interactive works — and visual art. This anthology will speak to both the joy and nostalgia that can be experienced playing video games as well as the structural inequities reflected in the genre. I want to see your clan battles, love stories, respawns, journeys, horrors, dreams, personal vendettas, and moments of rage and quiet reflection. In what ways have video games impacted or changed you? How have they helped you survive our present world and envision new ones?” This call is only open to queer POC
  • Submission Details. Submissions have been extended to “On Gaming” until 7/25. To submit, please send your full application to submit@seventhwavemag.com. We do accept simultaneous submissions, but not previously published work. And we welcome prose up to 3,000 words and up to 4 poems for poetry.
